What we saw in the first decade of the 21st century was a dramatic shift in the racial composition of prison populations,” says Marc Mauer, of The Sentencing Project,. “For the first time in nearly 40 years, we saw a sharp decline in the number of African Americans in prison – particularly women. We saw a steep rise in the number of white women going to prison, He speculates that the spike in the number of incarcerated white women has to do with the rise of methamphetamines and an increase in penalties for the use of the drug.'
